The title of the album alludes to David Cassidy's one-time dominance of the pop charts as a teen-idol (see The Partridge Family) and the eventual drop of his superstar status.

The album only reached the charts in the UK, where it peaked at number 22.

The album features the track "Darlin'", a song from Bruce Johnston's band, The Beach Boys.

It was a #1 hit in South Africa and was the 6th best selling single of the year in that country.

Some tracks from this collection are compiled onto the 1996 release When I'm a Rock 'n' Roll Star.
